Moving Layers in a Composition for Better Arrangement

I can't move one layer' image to be under/over another one in the final arrangement space because when I do, they lose all the adjustments I had previously made.
Background: I didn't move the adjusted photos into the final space in the right way in this, my first venture into CS 4, and know that now. However, when I DO try to move new photos I have adjusted and properly transferred them via Edit>merged and Edit>paste to the final place and try to move those images, the same thing happens! I need to know how to overlap images for placement. How is this done? Thanks very much.... MM

I think I've solved my own problem. I have to move each of the photos not saved/moved properly to a new page, resave it and move it back to the final space in the proper way. I think I'm getting the hang of it..............mm

Problems moving layers

I've been an Elements user for 10 years, using PE12 since June. I just recently had a problem moving layers both within and between files. When working on a file if I try to drag and drop a layer it just snaps back to where it was. I can move the layers with the arrow keys but this takes entirely to long. I don't understand why this just now started happening. I can open my previous version, PE 6 and move layers as I always did but since I paid to upgrade to PE12 it would be nice to be able to use it. Any input on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Kirsten

Mac user with Yosemite? If so, see:

Moving layers and adjusting perspective

Hi there,
I am wondering if it is possible to move each layer to that
they do not overlap. I also want to be able to move the layer in 3D
like in after effects. the reason is I want to have each layer
represent each face of a 3D cube.
For instance. A cube as 3 visible faces so there are 3
layers. Is it possible to move layers around like that and adjust
their perspective?

Wow, that was kind of an over the top response...
Many of the files I'm using were made in CS4 and didn't have this problem. I updated to CS6 about a month ago. The same files, that worked perfectly in CS4 are having this issue in CS6. It's not about the files - it's about CS6.
Maybe I worded my post wrong. The point I was trying to make is - something is wrong in SC6 Photoshop that's not unique to me or my files. A lot of other people I know complain of the same thing.
I was trying to highlight that this is an unaccepatble issue for software at this cost. And that it's a really, really big deal. What is more fundamental than moving layers?
From the volume of posts I see and the lack of an actual solution, my assumption is that there is not one and that this is a program flaw. I hope Adobe can adress this in an update soon.
If that is wrong and there is a true "solve", please advise.
On a side note. I'm an Creative Director doing web based work. The files are 72dpi. And this issue occurs when dragging / moving simple layers. They are not huge files or items that require substantial redraw.

CS4 crashes when moving layers

I am running OS 10.5.8 on a 2.66 Quad-Core Xeon Mac Pro with 8G of ram. OFTEN when I simply try and drag a layer above or below another layer, Photoshop will crash. Has anyone experienced this before and have they found a working solution?

I had this problem in Photoshop CS4 when running Leopard, somehow finally got it to stop when I reinstalled Photoshop CS4 and applied the update, now it has migrated to Snow Leopard (a clean OSX install, to boot) much to my displeasure.
It happens whenever I'm not paying attention... I'll "move" a layer up or down a few slots like usual, or attempt to move a layer when Photoshop might be consuming a lot of resources (i.e. finishing off a filter effect), or even if I try and move a layer while the layer is being transformed and has not been finalized.
The times this has happened are numerous and annoying, always seemingly random. I could have only five active layers and it will happen, or 10 tabbed projects all with 20 layers, it doesn't matter.
Never tried using keyboard shortcuts for layer arrangement—will have to try that now. Will also start sending the error reports.
I should note that this problem never occured in Photoshop CS3. There is one good thing that has come of this: I've been relying on, and thus mastering, Illustrator a whole lot more which is rock solid for me. I love it.
EDIT: I've got a 2.4ghz MacBook Pro (the late 2008 unibody model) with 4GB of RAM. I usually run on the 9400M integrated graphics chip... I can't remember if this happens on the 9600 discrete or not.

CS6 dead slow moving layers and groups

I have this brand new PC, got it last week, i7 core, SSD drive, 16gb ram.
When I open my PSD doc with my design (approx 43mb psd file) then the photoshop application spikes in memory usage, to 3.5gb (from 120mb), and moving groups and layers around is DEAD SLOW, horrible lag.
I had CS3 on my previous PC, which was Core2 Duo with 4gb ram, and the speeds there were similar on the same psd document.
I've also tried CS5.1 on a similar PC hardware specs as my new PC, and moving groups and layers around is much faster.
Is it just CS6? Why is this so slow?

I am moving to the U.S. for a year, from the UK. Should I get an iPhone here (UK) or wait until I'm there?

I am moving to the U.S. for a year, after which I will be returning permenantly to the UK. I am going to buy an iPhone, but am unsure whether it would be better to buy it here, or when I get over there?
Hopefully the phone will last for more than a year!

If you do buy before you go do not worry about your warrenty as Apple should still support iy as all you need to prove is that you bought it while you were a resident in the UK. Why companies do not like to support other contry warrenties as they wany to stop grey imprts. In your case you are a UK citezen going to the US for a year and they should support it. Though like most users you probably will not need this option.
Buying before you go means that when you return to the UK you will still be able to use your phone here in the UK. The US carries like 2 + year contracts and tend to be more expensive than UK contracts. Not sure if they have as many deals as we do have in the UK.

Moving layers with respect to one another

I'm trying to trace a new map using parts of two maps. I can trace the parts I want of one map, imported as a template, but now I want to import the other map as a template, and reposition my tracing over the second template. When I import the second template, it's in the wrong place (as expected), but I can't move my tracing layer to a different place over the new template -- both layers move together. Is there a way of moving layers independently?

Open both of your tracing images in phohtosp. Copy the new tempalte image adn paste that on top of the original template. Set the blending mode to multiply , and then transform to repositon. Set the belnding mode back to normal, turn visibility off for original layer if needed, save. Go to illustrator, if you were linked Illustrator should ask you to update image.

I need a clarification : Can I use EJBs instead of helper classes for better performance and less network traffic?

My application was designed based on MVC Architecture. But I made some changes to HMV base on my requirements. Servlet invoke helper classes, helper class uses EJBs to communicate with the database. Jsps also uses EJBs to backtrack the results.
I have two EJBs(Stateless), one Servlet, nearly 70 helperclasses, and nearly 800 jsps. Servlet acts as Controler and all database transactions done through EJBs only. Helper classes are having business logic. Based on the request relevant helper classed is invoked by the Servlet, and all database transactions are done through EJBs. Session scope is 'Page' only.
Now I am planning to use EJBs(for business logic) instead on Helper Classes. But before going to do that I need some clarification regarding Network traffic and for better usage of Container resources.
Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable
1) to get better performance and.
2) for less network traffic
3) for better container resource utilization
I thought if I use EJBs, then the network traffic will increase. Because every time it make a remote call to EJBs.
Please give detailed explanation.
thank you,
sudheer

Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable :
1) to get better performance
EJB's have quite a lot of overhead associated with them to support transactions and remoteability. A non-EJB helper class will almost always outperform an EJB. Often considerably. If you plan on making your 70 helper classes EJB's you should expect to see a dramatic decrease in maximum throughput.
2) for less network traffic
There should be no difference. Both architectures will probably make the exact same JDBC calls from the RDBMS's perspective. And since the EJB's and JSP's are co-located there won't be any other additional overhead there either. (You are co-locating your JSP's and EJB's, aren't you?)
3) for better container resource utilization
Again, the EJB version will consume a lot more container resources.

Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder? See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

I worked with files in LR that were originally on my C drive, then were moved to an external HD for storage. I now want to do some more work on those files (which have the same file name as on the C drive). I plugged the drive into my computer and it shows in LR under folders as the F drive and the little green light is on, but LR is showing only the first 6 files and not the remaining 200 or so. How do I expand the F folder to expose all files?

HT5299 can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.

can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.

You can connect the TV via the Thunderbolt port. However if the result is "better resolution" would depend on what resolution you have now (I'm guessing you mean with the HDMI adapter?)
I'm myself connecting the Mini Mac with a Thunderbolt->VGA adapter to my TV and get full 1920x1080 resolution.
Have you checked your Display settings? Make sure mirroring is off, then check what resolutions you can get on the current connection.

Best Bit Rate for Better sound

I’m new to the iTunes/iPod thing. A friend told me that he re-sets the bit rate from the default of 128 kpbs to the top of 320 kbps for better quality. [He plays everything off of his computer which is wired to speakers throughout his house and does not travel or drive much so hardly uses his iPod.] I played around a tad with the various rates on the same album and found that a fairly short one used 34.9 MB at 128 kbps, 52.1 MB at 192 kbps, 60.8 MB at 224 kbps and 86.6 MB at 340 kbps. Another friend told me that he noticed a big difference when he played a song off his iPod through his several thousand dollar system if it was imported at 128 kbps. While hard disc space is cheap and I would simply opt for the higher quality setting, the iPods are not so big when one almost triples the file size.
I tried to figure out what the max bit rates in the CDs are so that could guide the max import rate, but I could not and that question may make no sense at all anyway.
What is the max that a human can notice the difference at and what have folks found to be the best balance between sound quality and storage space?
Thanks for your help.

Monty, this is really going to be up to your ears to decide. All I can tell you is my experience during the 2+ years of owning an iPod. I initially thought AAC @ 128 was satisfactory. I then started experimenting with various bitrates, but kept the AAC format. I decided that 192 was a discernible improvement over the 128. Not to go into a lot of detail, but I, quite by accident, had one album download at 256 & thought, "Wow, this is unbelievably better sound, even over inexpensive computer speakers." At that point, I started importing everything in AAC @ 256 VBR which I feel is pretty darn close to CD quality sound. I have a 60GB iPod that I'm willing to sacrifice some capacity in order to ensure the best audio quality I can. This is also why I do not buy frequently from the iTunes store as I do not feel the 128 downloads are the best quality. I buy & my own CD's, now, to insure good quality. I will by the occasional song from the store when I do not care to buy the whole CD. Hope this helps!

Ipad Mini to DVD for better audio?

For iPad Mini, I want to output signal to DVD HDMI port for better 5.1 sound. Is that possible? Is splitter required? Presently I am using the Lightning Digital AV Adapter to connect Ipad mini directly to TV, but that limits audio to TV's speakers. Would prefer to use home theater if I can.
